Herzig Eye Institute

Dr. Modabber and the entire team at Herzig were great from start to finish. It's not a cheap experience, but it's your eyes! The care, communication and service level are all top shelf. Worth the consultation if you have considered it.

Ill update this in 6 months post Op, but a day after Smile I was told I have 20/15 vis, meaning better than 20/20. The office was cordial and very professional from the first consult. Theres several layers of checks on your eyes before doing any surgery- the multi level safeguards in place to ensure you are getting the proper type of surgery, at what prescription, and what your current prescription is, is great. All these details instills peace. My surgery was very fast, under 10 minutes from sitting in chair. The Valium+numbing drops means you dont feel any pain. You will feel uncomfortable though. You are absolutely aware and conscious while under the table and that can be scary for some people. You have to understand youre in good hands. No sugar coating, you just need to know you will be aware during the surgery but the doctor guides you through effortlessly. I pray everyone has amazing results- having corrected vision is not easily described with words. Dr. Mod did an excellent job. 6 months edit: Today on May 1 2023, 6 months after surgery here is my thoughts and review. My eyes do not experience dryness. No more than they did before surgery- which was rare. Before, I probably used drops once every 5 months from too much screen time. Now, after surgery, as bad as it sounds I forced myself to not use the drops after 2 months so my eyes could heal naturally. They did. I wake up with no dryness, I do not experience any issues from it at all. Vision - My eyes are as sharp as they were the day after post surgery. 20/15. I noticed after a month my right eye was slightly less strong, but my left is the dominant and the difference is small. Upon 3 month check up, they told me there was a small decrease in power by 0.25 which is within the room error. My eyes are still getting used to focusing, this feels like my body memory of having glasses before, they never worked out the muscles to keep focus on certain distances because the glasses did that for me. Other notes - I can see some floaters on my right eye , not my left, and not obtrusive for daily living as they are not close to the center of my eye. Only when I look at a clear sky will they appear. Do your research on this. It's no joke. Eye sensitivity at 9am sunlight is tough. My eyes water a lot without glasses at that time. Which is good, because my tear ducts are working fine after the surgery. I already had sun sneezing before so its the same after. overall this will change your life most certainly. If I would bring any concerns to the doctor at consolation here is what I would say. 1. Floaters. Ask them about it and your potential of getting it. Im lucky that mine aren't a problem 2. Blue light and post surgery 3. Working outside and allowing sunlight into your eye [not looking at sun of course] blessings

It was really hard for me to trust someone with my eyes and literally waited for two years with hesitation but i took the chance to fix my eyes with ICL which went successfully! This is a place where high professionalism and discipline is reflected!!! Highly recommended!!!! Thank you Dr. Herzig and all the team.

I had my first consultation last week with Dr Chao and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was more comprehensive than my own optometrist or even my doctor at OTEC. She answered all my questions, plus gave me more information to help with my decision making. Still in the decision-making phase but quite sure this is where I will come once I decide on my ICL surgery.

An amazing experience, I've never met Canadian doctors with such respect and actual care for people.
